Description:
Composition, abundance and environmental characteristics of the sea-weed resources of Mozambique were investigated along the whole Mozambican sea shore between May, 1979 and November, 1980. The limits of distribution of tropical algae were identified and located close to parallel 21 degree 00'S. Important concentrations of sea-weeds were found in the southern region, but only the Euchema resource in the coast of Cabo Delgado looked promising for commercial exploitation. Biological studies of Euchema were undertaken, the results of which permit the recommendation of a strategy for immediate harvesting which could yield 400-500 tons annually. Further proposals for the culture of sea-weeds are also included.
